The USAEE is a non-profit organization of business, government, academic, and other professionals that advances the understanding and application of energy economics across all facets of energy supply/demand, development and use.

Our conferences provide the opportunity to hear the latest research in energy economics and dialogue that takes place between industry, government and academia. USAEE meets nationally on an annual basis, with more frequent regional chapter meetings. Don't miss your opportunity to present your research and learn from others.

Membership in USAEE is open to anyone in the United States who has an active interest in the fields of energy or energy economics. Our membership consists of those working in both the public and private sectors including government, academia and business.

USAEE prides itself as being a place where energy economic professionals can quickly learn about the literature and people sources in every subfield of the profession. Avail yourself of two professional journals & a quarterly newsletter.

The USAEE and IAEE have combined efforts to create a working paper series
that gives all USAEE/IAEE members a chance to increase the circulation,
visibility, and impact of their research. If you have an unpublished
research paper that addresses any aspect of energy economics or energy
policy, we would like to feature your paper in this new series. There is no
cost to you, only benefits:

Place your work where it can be seen and used on a daily basis.

Gain timely feedback from other researchers working on related topics.

Create a permanent and searchable archive of your research output within
the largest available Electronic Paper Collection serving the social
sciences.

Provide unlimited, hassle-free, public downloads of your work on demand.

Raise your research profile, and that of the USAEE/IAEE, by joining with
fellow members to establish a new energy research trademark that
is unparalleled in terms of its breadth and depth of focus.

Have a chance to win a complimentary registration to attend one of
IAEE’s conferences in 2019.

The USAEE/IAEE Working Paper Series is a component of the Social
Science Research Network (SSRN) Research Paper Series. SSRN is the
leading online source of full-text research papers in the social sciences
and is accessible at the following link: http://www.ssrn.com/. SSRN is
indexed by all major online search engines, ensuring that anyone who does a
keyword search in your area of research will be directed to your paper,
receive free downloads, and will be provided with your contact information.
SSRN tabulates the number of abstract and full-text downloads of each paper
in the series and publishes various “top-ten” lists to indicate which
papers are most highly demanded within individual subject areas.

The USAEE/IAEE Working Paper Series includes only papers that
present original, scholarly research related to energy economics and
policy. Editorials, marketing tracts, and promotional material and papers
carrying a high degree of opinion to analysis will not be accepted. Other
than this initial screening, the working papers will be unrefereed and
authors are solely responsible for their content. Authors will retain all
rights to their work, including the right to submit their working papers
(or subsequent versions thereof) for publication elsewhere. Neither
USAEE/IAEE nor SSRN will assume or usurp any copyright privileges with
respect to papers included in the series.

Each working paper included in the USAEE/IAEE Working Paper Series
must be authored or co-authored by a member in good standing of the
USAEE/IAEE, and be submitted by that member. All papers will be assigned a
USAEE/IAEE Working Paper number.

To include your research paper (or papers) in theUSAEE/IAEE Working Paper Series, please email a copy of the work (in PDF format), including a brief
abstract, to Colin Vance, Manuel Frondel, and David Williams at wps@iaee.org.

Annual USAEE/IAEE Best Working Paper Award

Papers submitted from January 1 through December 31, 2018 will be reviewed
by the USAEE/IAEE Best Working Paper Award Committee. One paper will be
selected by a committee. This Committee will evaluate papers based on their
contribution to the literature, scholarship, and originality. Prior to the
review, the lead author will be requested to affirm his/her willingness to
present the paper at one of USAEE/IAEE's 2019 conferences should the paper
receive the Best Paper Award. The lead author of the paper that receives
the USAEE/IAEE Best Working Paper Award will receive complimentary
registration to attend one of IAEE’s conferences in 2019 and will be asked
to present the paper in one of the 2019 conference’s concurrent sessions.
